Welcome
      to
      a
      sneak
      preview
      of
      PANTHER
     
     
      magazine.
      (If
      this
      name
      doesn’t
      turn
      your
      knobs,
     
     
      read
      the
      item
      on
      the
      opposite
      page
      on
      how
      you
     
     
      can
      re-christen
      us.)
      This
      is
      NOT
      The
      GEM,
      this
      is
     
     
      a
      completely
      new
      publication
      with
      a
      brand
      new
     
     
      staff
      (except
      for
      a
      few
      experts
      from
      last
      year
      to
     
     
      help
      us
      figure
      out
      what
      we’re
      doing).
      Over
      the
     
     
      summer,
      we
      chopped
      off
      a
      few
      inches
      here
      and
     
     
      there,
      changed
      the
      name,
      re-vamped
      the
      format
     
     
      and
      re-classified
      it
      as
      a
      magazine.
      On
      top
      of
      this
     
     
      wonderful
      facelift,
      PANTHER
      magazine
      will
     
     
      actually
      have
      stuff
      to
      read
      in
      it,
      focusing
      on
      what’s
     
     
      happening
      at
      UPEI.
      There’ll
      be
      info
      on
      student
     
     
      activities,
      sports
      and
      upcoming
      events,
      as
      well
      as
     
     
      news
      from
      other
      university
      campuses
      across
     
     
      Canada,
      plus,
      we’re
      throwing
      in
      FAR
      SIDE
      and
     
     
      CALVIN
      AND
      HOBBES,
      because
      we
      have
      to
      be
     
     
      silly
      too.
      Not
      bad
      for
      a
      free
      read.
      Oh,
      by
      the
      way,
     
     
      there’ll
      be
      a
      couple
      of
      thousand
      copies
      of
      the
      latest
     
     
      edition
      of
      PANTHER
      magazine
      available
      every
     
     
      Thursday
      afternoon
      (around
      four-ish)
      at
      various
     
     
      locations
      On
      campus.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      grossly
      underpaid,
      overworked.
      staff
      of
      the
     
     
      magazine
      include
      a
      typesetter
      who
      gets
      to
      play
      with
     
     
      computers,
      a
      circulation
      manager
      to
      chuck
     
     
      newspapers
      around,
      a
      photographer
      to
      mess
     
     
      around
      in
      our
      darkroom,
      a
      production
      editor
      to
     
    
   
   
    
     
      produce
      the
      paper
      (makes
      sense,
      right?)
      and
      an
     
     
      editor-in-chief
      to
      hold
      the
      whole
      mess
      together.
     
     
      Since
      the
      magazine
      is
      produced
      by
      students
      every
     
     
      week
      throughout
      the
      school
      year,
      there’s
      always
     
     
      room
      for
      more
      bodies
      to
      do
      anything
      from
     
     
      conducting
      a
      news
      interview,
      laying-out
      a
      page
      or
     
     
      two,
      writing
      up
      a
      story,
      putting
      together
      an
      ad,
     
     
      developing
      a
      photo,
      drawing
      a
      cartoon
      strip
      or
     
     
      maybe
      just
      reviewing
      the
      latest
      movie
      (we
      pay
     
     
      admission,
      you
      pay
      popcorn).
     
    
   
   
    
     
      We'll
      be
      meeting
      every
      Tuesday
      night
      at
      7:00
      to
     
     
      discuss
      story
      ideas,
      and
      anyone
      and
      everyone
      is
     
     
      more
      than
      welcome
      to
      come
      and
      see
      what
      putting
     
     
      a
      publication
      together
      is
      all
      about.
      (At
      least
      come
     
     
      for
      the
      free
      pizza).
      If
      you’re
      looking
      for
      some
      great
     
     
      experience,
      planning
      to
      break
      into
      the
     
     
      communications
      field,
      or
      just
      wanting
      to
     
     
      immortalize
      your
      name
      in
      print,
      drop
      by
      the
      office,
     
     
      room
      B06
      in
      the
      basement
      of
      Main
      building
      (near
     
     
      the
      pop
      and
      junk
      food
      machines).
      If
      no-one
      is
      in
     
     
      the
      office
      when
      you
      decide
      to
      visit,
      (we
      ARE
     
     
      students
      too)
      you
      can
      stuff
      your
      submissions,
      or
     
     
      even
      just
      your
      name
      and
      phone
      number,
      through
     
     
      the
      slot
      in
      the
      door,
      and
      spend
      the
      rest
      of
      the
      day
     
     
      reading
      all
      the
      little
      notes
      I’m
      leaving
      on
      the
      door
     
     
      especially
      for
      you
      to
      read.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I
      would
      love
      to
      get
      some
      comments
      on
      all
      of
      these
     
     
      changes
      to
      this
      publication.
      There’s
      a
      bizillion
      ways
     
     
      to
      get
      through
      to
      me.
      Again,
      you
      can
      stick
      a
      note
     
     
      through
      the
      door,
      visit
      me
      in
      real
      life
      during
      my
     
     
      office
      hours
      (posted
      on
      that
      yery
      same
      door),
      call
     
     
      me
      at
      566-0629,
      or,
      if
      you’re
      a
      computer
      geek,
